Architectural Consistency / Local Autonomy
Kind: tension
Record: tension:architectural-consistency-local-autonomy
Canonical: Schema
"architectural-consistency" (evolution-principles layer) is traded against "Local Autonomy" (evolution-principles layer) — a principle cannot be scope-separated from a quality, metric, or cost it competes with; resolve by measuring "Local Autonomy" and choosing an explicit operating point.
Listed in Tensions, after Pattern Consistency / Local Optimization and before Standardization / Innovation/Autonomy.
